A Matter of Priority

What are we focusly doing right now? Where do we spend most of our thoughts and energy? --------It's a matter of Priority.

In "Seven Habbits", they put priority under two categories - Importance and Urgency and segmentize in to 4 Zones:

1. Important and Urgent
2. Important and not Urgent
3. Urgent and not Important
4. Not Urgent and not Important

The 2nd Zone is said to be the best among the 4 as it is important but still have enough time to carry out or even crafting to its best. Thus, urgent is just an external push (should) for its happening but not an inside out (needs) or (wants).

Well, if weighting life priority according to its Importance, what are they? I know different stage of life has different important issues of concern, so as different person has his/her different views. Does God has a truth answer for this crucial question?

Life as a whole is important to live to love and to be loved. Core elements for love are people, time, relationship, interaction, conversation, experience, memories, trust and etc......... If we want to lead our children to understanding the truth of love, what will we prepare for them?

A school? A home?.................these are the places or environment.

A knowledge? A role? ...........these are the input and output stuffs.

If thinking from the stand of a computer, a good software seems the most important. What is the software of LOVE? A prgram knows every possible step, interaction, change and consequence of love............A Loving Microsoft.

While I am thinking and writing this message, I got an inspiration that I may start to ask my teens:

• "If you are going to choose a software for your life, what would that be?"
• "What are the core value (operational system) that must be included in your software?"
• "What would you expect this life software could help you to achieve in your life project?"
• "What kind of life management reports do you require in order to help you managing your operation neatly and healthy?"
• "Do you want to have a user-freindly program? or you are a skillful and advanced user one which require some unique and sophiscated features? If yes, what are they and why you need them?"
• "In order to fully utilize and maximize your investment for this software, do you need any support?" If yes, "what are they and why?"
• "Does you software enable import and export functions so that it could interface well with other forms?"
• "Does you software compatible with other model so that you have less limitation?"
• "Could you predict how much data volume you expect your server to provide in order to run this software and your data in a normal good speed, but not overloaded?"
• "Do you have a maintenance policy with your hardware?"
• "Do you have a auto-upgrade agreement with your software provider?"
• "Do you have a backup plan for your program and data?"
• "Do you use any password?"
• "How often do you check the bugs and virus?" and "What anti-virus program are you using?"

Choosing a software program just like choose the foundation for one's life; prarble of build a house on sand or on the rock. Matthew 7:24-27

What is your choice?
